man they are rated #6 in the country and can't even fill a 40k seat stadium.

They got emselves some nasty, mangy looking uniforms.

Am I looking at the good side ? Crowd looks pretty good to me.

The upper deck on one side looked pretty empty and one of the endzones looked to be pretty sparsely populated. They probably have low 30s. We have no reason to ridicule them...Let's see what we have next Thursday.

How many times has Palmer called them Cincy?

Ward should ask Theisman about the flea flicker.

Yep.

Crowd looks pretty good to me, as does Houston. But they are not unbeatable.

they winning, which I'm fine with.

I agree. I don't think they'll be undefeated when they play us.

Capacity is only 40.000 if you can see any sections not packed it means the crowd is mid 30s.

They have multiple sections not packed, even half empty. But it does go to show that an adequately sized say stadium can change your perception of how a game is attended. For instance, the Chicago Cubs have a 40,000 seat stadium. Looks amazing. We get almost 50,000 to a game and it looks ridiculous because you see 10 to 15,000 empty seats in those upper corners.

I will say this though, that last game we had the home side of the stadium looked really good, the one time ESPN's showed it. But for whatever reason they continue to show the empty side constantly even in between plays and during timeouts. And our idiot administration cannot figure out that we have a very bad perception because we continue to show the visitor side the entire game

That crowd has emptied out. Still 10 minutes left. Wow

You know how I feel about our administration but that is not their call as to which way the cameras are pointed. Main sideline cameras are on built in pedestals on home side so 80-90% of shots are going to be pointed to visitor side.

Should be an easy fix

who won

Houston over UConn by forever.

Crowd looked good to me. Worst UH uniforms I have seen in a while though. They usually have a clean look, but that stuff last night looked bad IMO.
